Friends, please, please amplify. The NYPD are now raiding City College. Reports are hundreds of cops. Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @CUNY students are largely working class students of color.
Arrests underway on 114th as NYPD clears protesters from the area surrounding campus. They’re shoving people into buildings and blocking the doors. NYPD has kicked all legal observers out of the area.
.@WKCRFM just reported that police used tear gas inside Hamilton Hall and that an unconscious person is lying on the ground just outside
no legal observers, cherry-picked journalists, no faculty, no students not living in campus residences—columbia clearly means to keep the world from seeing the brutality they are about to unleash on their own students

A lot of these student reporters have been on air for 26 hours straight to make sure we know what's going on when very limited press can get in. So we have to listen to them. cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/
""In my nearly forty years as a faculty member, I have never seen such brazen cruelty toward students and faculty, such cowardice before what amounts to a right-wing witch hunt, and such blatant dishonesty." --Robin D.G. Kelley, always a bright light.
“In order to defund the university, they first had to delegitimize the university.” -@isaac_kamola on the big picture & how higher education fits into the far right agenda.

"So to be less distracting, we sent riot police at them to yell and scream and throw tear gas. Because people were trying to study!!"
What has Marc Rowan been up to in his day job as Apollo CEO when he’s not busy crusading against the freedom to learn at our university? Get this: perpetrating a massive insurance fraud scheme of illegal “human life wagering” on senior citizens bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The AAUP & our chapters defend the right to free speech & peaceful protest on university campuses, condemn the militarized response by institutional leaders to these activities, & vehemently oppose the politically motivated assault on higher education. 🧵
We cannot be silent as riot cops storm college campuses to arrest, often brutally, peaceful protesters and profs It's the final push of the right's war to destroy higher ed. And police-state violence is priming the pump for the horror to come Gift link inquirer.com/opinion/commen…

Wholeheartedly agree with @aaup_penn If you do not uphold freedom of speech and freedom of assembly in times like this, then these fundamental freedoms mean nothing. All of higher ed and more are watching, @Penn. #dotherightthing

Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @CUNY students are largely working class students of color.
""In my nearly forty years as a faculty member, I have never seen such brazen cruelty toward students and faculty, such cowardice before what amounts to a right-wing witch hunt, and such blatant dishonesty." --Robin D.G. Kelley, always a bright light.
“In order to defund the university, they first had to delegitimize the university.” -@isaac_kamola on the big picture & how higher education fits into the far right agenda.
Several billionaire megadonors have pulled their donations from elite universities, in the wake of mass Pro-Palestinian protests over Israel's war in Gaza. Professor @isaac_kamola says attacks on higher education are “just the tip of the iceberg.”
Notable—unlike other schools, Wesleyan Uni says it will not clear an encampment so long as it remains non-violent: "This morning you can find pro-Palestinian protestors camped out…as long as we all reject violence, we have opportunities to listen and to learn from one another."
It is absolutely incredible that University presidents across the country, as well as our politicians, have screwed up so badly that they've led Columbia students in 2024 to build a weeks long encampment and occupy the same building that was occupied in 1968. Masterful failure.
We are alarmed at the shameless exertion of pressure on university leaders by the nation’s politicians, by the universities’ most powerful donors, & by other interest groups. We are even more alarmed at how quickly our institutional leaders have capitulated to that pressure. 13/
Policies enacted unilaterally after October 7 violate principles of shared governance, & institutions should enforce only mutually-approved policies which, on a college campus, should be focused on restorative justice & learning in service of understanding. 12/
Harassment & hate have no place on college campuses or anywhere. Universities have carefully developed policies & disciplinary procedures based on due process to address these long-standing problems & these must be used now & allowed to run their course. 11/
To insist that harsh discipline & violent repression are necessary to combat hate on a college campus is a pretext to suppress protest and silence speech. 10/
…their faculty, students, & their central obligation to our democratic society. When university admin limit when, where, & how free speech may be exercised, & require advanced applications for permission of such expression, they effectively gut the right itself. 9/
At this critical moment, too many cowardly university leaders are responding to largely peaceful, outdoor protests by inviting law enforcement in riot gear to campus & condoning violent arrests. These administrators are failing in their duty to their institutions… 8/
